Hierarchy Feature

Overview #

The Hierarchy feature is a powerful tool within our platform that allows users to categorize their products into a structured and organized system. With the Hierarchy feature, users can create and manage up to 4 levels of hierarchical categories. This flexibility enables users to define a customized structure that best fits their needs. 📁

Key Features #

• Customizable Structure: Users have the freedom to design their own hierarchy, tailoring it to their specific requirements. 🛠️
• Up to 4 Levels: The hierarchy supports up to 4 levels of categorization, allowing for detailed and comprehensive organization. 📊
• User-Defined: Each user can define their own hierarchy, ensuring that the categorization system is personalized and relevant. 👤

How It Works #

1. Creating a Hierarchy:
2. Navigate to the Manage Hierarchy button.
3. Click on Add new Node to start defining your structure.
4. Input the top-level category and add subsequent levels as needed.
5. Adding Levels:
6. For each level, provide a name and description to clearly define the category.
7. You can create sub-categories under each top-level category, up to the fourth level.
8. Assigning Products:
9. Once your hierarchy is set up, you can assign it to the products.
10. The assignation of the hierarchy is made during product creation or product edition.
11. This helps in organizing products in a way that makes them easily searchable and accessible.
12. Editing and Managing:
13. You can edit, delete, or rearrange categories at any time to adapt to changing needs from Manage Hierarchy button.
14. The platform provides a user-friendly interface to make these adjustments seamlessly.

Example #

Here’s an example of a 3-level hierarchy:

• Headquarters
• Operations Department
  • Station 1
  • Substation 1A
  • Substation 1B
  • Lab Department
    • Station 2
    • Substation 2A
    • Substation 2B
• Europe central
• Operations Department
  • Station 1
  • Substation 1A
  • Substation 1B
  • Station 2
  • Substation 2A
  • Substation 2B

This example illustrates how products can be categorized into broad categories and then further divided into more specific sub-categories. 📋
